    Charlesworth Furniture Making Techniques v2

    Good grief, I just took a look on the Web, ridiculous prices, I saw them on David`s website but didn`t realise they are out of print. Perhaps Lost Art Press may step in at some point and buy the rights to print them .

    Sharpening

    Hi Jacob, I don't have a link but his sharpening video demonstrates it and it's in at least one of his books, all available to purchase from his website.

    Sharpening

    That's not correct Jacob, you can successfully camber a blade with a honing guide without buying any additional rollers, I do it and David Charlesworth demonstrates this in his articles and videos.

    Scribe tools -for site fitting of fitted furniture

    Like to see someone scribe a kitchen cabinet panel around a skirting board using that. It also doesn't take into account the angle of the wall the skirting is fixed to, not all walls are plumb.

    Luban Chinese Block Plane

    A bit over dramatic mate, he said he was fed up with this forum, I said I think it is a good forum and if he didn't like it then why not leave. I haven't driven anyone out, he suggested he was leaving and then replied to my comment, I thought it was quite funny really.

    Not really, you're replying to my comment which means you're still here. How long does it take to leave?

    If you don't like this forum then leave, simple as that really, personally I think it's still the best forum around at the moment with a vast array of post topics and points of view.

    Luban Chinese Block Plane

    Right back at you, "intern" you've lost me. I didn't say the stolen money is funding the war, I said tax money is embezzled and is used to fund the war. Please try reading my post properly. TIA.

    Perhaps you would post a link, I can't see anything regarding Russian tools and the Ukrainian war. Thank you, I have and am pleased to see their response, personally I wouldn't have stocked Russian tools after Russian Government employees walked into the UK and poisoned people, same principle.

    Luban Chinese Block Plane

    Dear God give me strength, if we stop buying them there is no demand and no tax if I were to buy something directly from Russia as Workshop Heaven do, the money I paid to that manufacturer or supplier would be taxed by the Russian Government, the tax goes to the Russian Government, in turn...

    Luban Chinese Block Plane

    You miss my point, China may be lagging behind but there are examples of how to industrialise cleanly and ethically, mistakes made by us and other countries including America who basically went through industrialism at the same time made mistakes which China and other developing countries should...

    Wilfully ignorant??? In the main, most European countries have workers rights, standards for working conditions and an environment policy, also a legal system which allows redress if these rules are broken, we have this and so does the United States, what they all have in common is democracy...

    Luban Chinese Block Plane

    Slightly disagree with you, the carrot as you call it is the main stick, if the Chinese Government didn't allow it, it wouldn't happen, by the way I do know my role in this as a consumer and do my best to source things ethically. Some makers, some on this forum, make a big thing about where they...

    During the industrial revolution some pollution and working conditions could be put down to ignorance, the effects to start with were unknown, China or any other country can't use that excuse now, no matter where they are in their development, everybody knows the affects now.

    Luban Chinese Block Plane

    1920s and 1960s, you've gone back in time to dig those up, most countries including ours have had some sort of pollution scandal, particularly during the industrial revolution. China is still doing it, not only that, their total disregard for workers rights and working conditions are...

    Luban Chinese Block Plane

    You didn't read my post correctly, I said probably the maker himself is harmless but his taxes will be put to bad use, unfortunately as with sanctions, they hurt everyone but are nonetheless the correct thing to do, no company in the UK should be trading with Russia, I'm hopeful Matthew at WH...
